Arminius/Dennis Bergkamp/Tristan Bouvier/J.P. ...

All my life I’ve been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come it’s not near as terrible as I’d expected. The sun still shines, water still tastes good…glory is all well and good but life is enough, nay?

Stealing members is such a funny way off putting it. If they find a regiment they like and think they will enjoy more than their own then its THEIR choice. Not anyone else's.
Knightmare is from Albania, no?
Sorry, I can't accept this team.
